Product Description
YOUR COMPLETE POCKET GUIDE TO GL VALUES
Based on the proven science of the Glycemic Index (GI) but easier to use, Glycemic Load (GL) dieting is the easiest, most powerful tool for losing weight, controlling diabetes and following a healthy day-to-day diet. GL values give a more accurate measure of the way different foods affect your body by adjusting the GI score for portion size. For example, an orange is a much healthier snack than a candy bar, but the orange has a higher GI value (42) than the candy bar (41). But when adjusted to the real-world portion, the healthier snack becomes obvious--the orange has a low GL value of 4 compared to the high GL value of 26 for the candy bar!
-GL, GI
Plus calories, carbs and fat for over 800 popular foods.
-User-friendly
Convenient design and straightforward A to Z lists
-No more math
Each food's serving size is already computed into the GL score
-Glycemic Response
Advice on different types of foods and your body's reaction to each one, from meats and vegetables to breads and fruits.

Format:Paperback
This is a simple book that is easy to read and tells you all you need to know about GL once you understand what GL and GI are.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Interesting book but have not used it much as it is quite difficult to find items within it. It is also challenging to work out how much you "noramally" use as this is not always stated.

Liked the bumf for this book which made me buy it. Wish I hadn't bothered! The info is confusing, although I understand (I think) the science behind it. I should have just downloaded the GI info I wanted from the internet. On the bookshelf gathering dust (what IS the GI and GL for dust?).

GL plus GI lists
I found this little book very good as it has the all food values in both GL and GI.

Bit dissapointing
Many pages are dedicated to well-known carbohydrate-free food, such as meat, eggs etc. A larger section on processed food would be a good addition
